Netflix Users Are Running Out of Time To Watch DreamWorks’ Underrated Cars Replacement

by

Pixar’s Cars, released in 2006, quickly became one of the studio’s biggest successes. The animated film follows Lightning McQueen, a confident young racecar, who finds himself stuck in the rundown town of Radiator Springs while on his way to a crucial race. It was both a popular and critically acclaimed hit. Seven years later, DreamWorks created a similar animated sports comedy, and it’s soon coming to Netflix.

If you want to watch the DreamWorks animated movie Turbo, you only have about a week left! It’s leaving Netflix on February 1st. The film, released in 2013, tells the story of a snail who gains super speed and dreams of competing in the Indianapolis 500. It features the voices of well-known actors like Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Snoop Dogg, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Turbo Crashed in Comparison to Cars

When it came to box office success, Disney Pixar’s Cars easily outperformed DreamWorks’ Turbo. Cars, released in 2006, earned $462 million and spawned a franchise that has made over $1.4 billion across three movies. Turbo, released in 2013, earned $282 million. Although that sounds like a decent amount, considering its $127 million production cost and additional marketing expenses, Turbo was a financial disappointment, reportedly losing the studio around $13.5 million.

Viewers generally preferred Cars over Turbo. Cars has a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with critics giving it a 74% score and audiences an 80%. Turbo received a 68% critic score and a 65% audience rating, which is respectable, but places it among the lower-ranked DreamWorks films.

I have to say, Cars is just the better film, but Turbo is still a really enjoyable watch! It definitely feels a little like a simpler version of Cars, with a pretty predictable story and characters that don’t quite pop, but it’s a genuinely fun, feel-good underdog story that’s perfect for a family movie night. My kids absolutely loved the bright, colorful animation and seeing the races from a snail’s perspective – it’s so unique! Plus, the voice acting is fantastic, and the racing scenes are exciting enough to keep adults entertained. And honestly, the music is amazing – the soundtrack really captures the energy of the film, and the theme song has been stuck in my head ever since!

Where to Stream Turbo After It Leaves Netflix?

The animated movie Turbo is leaving Netflix and doesn’t appear to be headed to another streaming service right now. While some platforms haven’t announced their February 2026 schedules yet, it looks like viewers may have to rent or buy Turbo online if it doesn’t reappear on a streaming service.
